Plasmo--Making Your Own Dry Pigment
Messages In This Thread
I'm building a 1967 Cyclone and I found many, many pics of a fully restored one. The floor pans are painted or undercoated in semi gloss black. It's pretty plain. Is there a way I can "liven it up" with a wash or some other way of detailing? ....... *PIC*.....
Not exactly sure what you want but if you want to dirty it just a tiny bit (for some contrast) Tamiya makes dry powder weathering kits...... *PIC*
I saw a couple of tutorials on the Tamiya Weatherine, and it was used on desert S.A.S. and LRDG vehicles in Nortfh Africa in WWII, and a little bit goes a long ways. My 2 cents ?, For model cars, find another source. *NM*
Note the couple of drain holes in each frame rail. There's also the drain plugs in the floor that usually have a sealant on them. Then there are several cables and lines fro emergency brankes, fuel. Also note the bit of red paint on the right side. There will be some body
Looks like undercoating to me. They did not come off the assembly line like that. Far as I know Ford unibodies were oxide red underneath, with semi-black bolt-on pieces and underhood areas. Undercoating was (usually) only in the wheelwells. There could be some body-color *PIC*
